'Rocky': Newly Remastered DVD Giveaway + Posters

This!

To
celebrate the newly re-mastered release of the cult classic movie 'Rocky' on Blu-ray - released to mark the 90th anniversary of MGM - boxing legend Jeff Fenech (he's a a three-weight world champion and a boxing trainer) last night hosted a private screening of the film
at Hoyts Cinema Paris, at Fox Studios Entertainment Quarter

Pre-screening, Jeff shared with the eager crowd stories about his close friend, the man who plays Rocky, Sylvester Stallone as well as his brother Frank, and talked about the parallels from the movie and his own journey.

And then, the movie. The 1976 classic has stood the test of time: heart-warming performances, a triumph over adversity story, and an epic, stirring soundtrack. It was all there and all rather fantastic to revisit

The
private event hosted a number of key sporting talent (Olympian John Steffensen, Sydney Swans star Ryan O'Keefe), as well as emerging boxing talent Brock Jarvis. Mario Fenech, Australian rugby league personality and regular guest on 'The Footy Show' also was there for a meet and greet and photo opps. Media and a handful
of lucky competition winners also came along to the event.

'Rocky' was nominated for 10 Academy
Awards, and won three, including the Oscar for Best Picture. The story of a struggling
Philadelphia club fighter (Stallone) who gets a once in a lifetime opportunity to
fight for love, glory and self-respect inspired all who watched it. And watched it, and watched it again.

Now… for an incredible opp for you. 20th Century Fox Australia has kindly given readers of Josie's Juice the chance to win one of TEN newly mastered Blu-ray editions of 'Rocky' and… get this, super fans: a commemorative poster of Rocky, as you can see below.

About Me

I grew up in Sydney, still here. Studied Communications at uni, married, had twins. Sure, my children are my life. But I also had a whole other life before them I worked very hard for. And now, I juggle; sometimes excelling, sometimes not so much. I like the former, and strive for this daily. I’m a journalist (I’ve written for Marie Claire Australia, Madison magazine, Jetstar magazine, Studio magazines, Practical Parenting, Cream magazine, Cosmopolitan Middle East and Australia + more) blogger (for my blogs, plus Debrief Daily, mamamia, The Punch, + more) and PR, and I’m also now an author. My book 'The Australian Ageing Generation Handbook' is about carers, for carers, for me, for my beloved late mother. I am VERY proud of it. We all become carers - this is THAT book for YOU. My partner in life is a tad OCD and I take full advantage of that (my house = spotless). My twins - Rafael and Estella: I love them a ridiculous amount. But as all mothers know, you need balance, darling. The blogs I write are my passions: www.josiesjuice.blogspot.com.au wwwtwinnieworld.blogspot.com.au www.ourautismadventures.blogspot.com.au http://www.oursandwichgeneration.blogspot.com.au
